Astoria Residence Hotel reviews

A guest room and the service are good.
Unfortunately the breakfast room was full and waited.
If you change the position of the drinks machine to improve the congestion, I think that it is better.

We came to Parma for a 2-day trourist trip. The hotel was quite nice, however there was a lot of noise in the room coming from the street (despite we asked for a quiet room). But it seems to be a general problem of all hotels in Italy... The breakfast was nice, the choice of food was satisfying

Except for the a/c in our room which at 33° in Parma during our stay was dramatically needed but seemed to have gone walkabout, the hotel was super in all aspects. Copious (free) breakfast, super location, close to the centre of the old city, clean. We hope to return for the Verdi festival in October

The Astoria is close to the station yet only a short walk into Parma centre. The room was quiet despite its close proximity to a busy road and railway line. The Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. The only downside was the lack of coffee making faccilities in the room or any hot drink faccility in the reception area but there are plenty of cafes nearby.

The hotel is to the left of the station but at the moment there is a lots of building works in front of the station.The hotel is only 10 minutes on foot to the centre and so is ideal. The hotel is quiet and very clean and the breakfast is good. You have to ask for coffee.

The area surrounding the hotel was congested and overrun by people just hanging around. But good proximity to the train station. And the restaurant next to the hotel...Karnaba (or something like this) was quaint, friendly and had excellent food. The ravioli di zucca was marvelous!

We had a larger room which was fine. The buffet breakfast was extensive and good quality. Being very close to the railway station the hotel' situation suited us and we enjoyed the stroll back from the centre of town after eating dinner.

A lovely clean hotel, very convenient to the train station and to the city centre and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and spoke very good English. My husband and I had a nice room at the side of the building overlooking a large alleyway. The room was a bit dark, but we had a fabulous big bathroom with a bath which was a real bonus. The hotel also has a left luggage facility which is great if you are travelling. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Parma and would be very happy to stay there again.

It would have been nice to have the option of a bath as I suffer from health problems and this would have been of great use. My stay in Parma was excellent and I would come again. Hotel and staff were of a very high standard and the staff were all very friendly.

Couldn't be any closer to the train station, which was fantastic for me since I had 2 big suitcases (I moved to Parma from the US, so wasn't traveling lightly). Room was teeny and basic, but clean and perfectly fine. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They have internet and wireless internet in the lobby, but not in the rooms.

The hotel was for us helpful for its close location to the train station. The hotel itself was dingy looking and without charm. My low rating on surroundings was the hotel's looks not based on the safety of the neighborhood.Compared to other hotels we stayed at in Italy, the price was expensive for the quality.

Would recommend the hotel to others. One block from train station and about 5-6 blocks from downtown. Nice staff and their recommendation of La Duchessa restaurant was great.

This hotel is recent, this means carpets on the floor instead of wood or ceramic. It may a plus or a minus for you. The garage is very conveniently located. The city and the park are at walking distance. The breakfast was good.

A wonderful hotel, in a fantastic location, in a brilliant town. We don't have a bad word to say about our stay at the Astoria.

Our request for a quiet, non-smoking room was ignored. The hotel is on a main road and the double-glazing does not shut out all the noise. The room was very basic, so too was the bathroom with a tiny shower cubicle. We could hear the toilet flushing quite loudly in a neighbouring room. Breakfast buffet was ok but nothing to write home about.

The Astoria Parma was very good with the exception of a frosty blonde haired female receptionist who was not welcoming!
